AB  - RNA viruses that affect honeybees have been involved in colony losses reported 
      around the world. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the prevalence and 
      distribution of honeybee viruses during 2006-2007 in Spanish professional 
      apiaries, and their association with colony losses. Four hundred and fifty-six 
      samples from apiaries located in different geographic regions of Spain were 
      analyzed. Thirty-seven percent of the samples had viral presence. Most (80%) had 
      one virus and 20% two different viruses. All the analyzed viruses, Deformed Wing 
      Virus (DWV), Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV), Black Queen Cell Virus (BQCV), 
      Sacbrood Virus (SBV) and Kashmir Bee Virus (KBV) were detected, but detection 
      rates were lower than expected. According to these results and considering the 
      high prevalence of other honeybee pathogens in Spain, the role of viruses in 
      colony losses in Spain may be discussed.
